It's a bit tricky if it's an image. If it's a photo on a webpage then you can do a deeplink to it by pressing the insert image url thing, you can generally find an images url by right clicking it and viewing its propoerties.


If it's your own photo then it's a bit toughter. I generally post it on flickr as a private photo so that it doesn't clutter the photostream, then deeplink to it there.




that's me showing off now ;-P

I too feel the warmth and a sudden wave of goodwill to all men (and women!). The flutter of peace on my face has redeemed my faith in human kind.


In the spirit of our new found nirvana I thought I'd finish off my little map and add East Duwlich (outline in black) and the Village/Central area and Common (circled in blue) so that there is an overall impression of where the areas relate.

Back in ye old days the entire manor of Dulwich incorporated roughly the area highlighted (although it was slightly smaller on the East part (I believe Lordship Lane was the dividing line) and on the West (Croxted Road was more or less the dividing line) and larger on the Southern part (extending into what are now Sydenham Hill and Duwlich and Sydenham Woods and reaching right up to Crystal Palace Park).

The harvester is where Lordship Lane and Dulwich Common intersect (Red and Black lines on the right). The concrete house is located just further along Lordship Lane where it meets London Road.


Mockney - I didn't mean to leave North Dulwich out but it's so small and is really a marketing ploy by estate agents. If anything it is really Herne Hill although I know that will irk anyone who lives there. Re: South Dulwich - there are only a few hundred people living in their large detached houses/private apartments and perhaps a thousand on the estate housing the old Kingswood house (below)

beyond that there is more greenery (i.e. Dulwich and Sydenham Woods) than concrete. The local church St Stephens states its address as South Dulwich.

As said before it is often referred to as West Dulwich or on its extremeties as Gipsy Hill.

That's because this whole part of Dulwich was wooded and the separation of Sydenham and Dulwich far more pronounced. So the station was called Sydenham Hill to mark its location to the rest of Dulwich i.e. on the approach to Sydenham Hill in a clearing in Dulwich Woods http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/southwark/dulwich/sydenham-hill-station.htm . But if you take Dulwich to be the land owned by the Dulwich estate it is more Dulwich than all the areas on the east of Lordship Lane which were originally part of Friern Manor Farm.

And in addition taken from St Stephens website: History


Built 1867 - 75; consecrated 1868

Architect; Banks and Barry

Listed Grade II


In 1868, only a handful of people lived in the leafy part of Surrey now known as Dulwich, on a few dairy farms and in modern gracious villas.


St. Stephen, in the woods on College Road, a beautiful neo-gothic church, was commissioned from the famous Victorian architect, Sir Charles Barry, to seat a congregation of seven hundred. The church was built by private subscription without endowments, and with the extra gift of a fresco by Sir Edward Poynter


Their website proclaims South Dulwich at the top: http://www.ststephensdulwich.org/history.html and so does a history of one house on College Road "Dunlica" (now St John's Wood house) which reads


A tall, old-looking detached house on College Rd (pleasant road which runs between Dulwich College and a park), Dulwich (the S end, this location also described as in "South Dulwich"), SC London (London SE21).

Oh yes I did realise that. I meant that from the map and according to the borders added they appear not to be in either East Dulwich or West Dulwich....so where are they?

As said this is only a rough outline - I knew I should have put a disclaimer up! Re electoral wards - they never match be they in Dulwich or Dundee. Just depends on which governing party needs the votes titled in their favour. 'Most' of the old Dulwich constituency was merged with West Norwood to form what we know today but that still leaves out Peckham Rye, South Camberwell ward and parts of The Lanes which went over to Peckham and Camberwell ward. The current Dulwich and West Norwood ward acquired parts of Thurlow Park, Herne Hill and Coldharbour from Streatham and Vauxhall ward.

Here's something over in West Dulwich - there's a family centre in Chatsworth Baptist Church, I took my little boy over to a parent and child group there today. Pretty good. Took ten minutes from my place in ED and I drove past loads of beautiful houses in the tree lined streets over that way just wishing that ED housing stock was as well-built. But however nice it is, it is not East Dulwich - it's too quiet, too...too...suburban. Is it simply because it's south of the South Circular?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
